Miosgán Médhbh

Queen Maeve's Rocks

Miosgán Méabh (Maeve's lump of butter) is a large cairn on the summit of Knocknarea in County Sligo.[1] The cairn is thought to conceal a passage grave from the Irish Neolithic era.[2] It is the largest cairn in Ireland, excepting those at the Brú na Bóinne complex in Meath.[3]
